Nine All-Star Relay Teams Swim Faster Than NVSL Records

Near-perfect weather at Greenbriar Pool on Wednesday set the stage for ultra-fast swims, as nine teams at All-Star Relays touched the wall faster than any in NVSL history. Three of those teams, however, only finished second in their event! The outstanding swims came in the following events:

Mixed Age Boys Relay

John Schaefer, Jackson Steider, Joseph Schaefer and David Herbert of Wakefield Chapel touched in 1:50:53, but they weren’t as fast as Johnny Bradshaw, Ryan Bradshaw, Alexander Montano and Chase Bradshaw of Hamlet, who finished in 1:50.34. The previous record was 1:50.65, set by Chesterbrook in 2013.

Girls 13-14 Medley Relay

The Vienna Aquatic team of Darby Galbraith, Anna Keating, Anna Sullivan and Tess Wilhelmdestroyed Tuckahoe’s 2007 record of 2:07.52, touching in 2:04.41.

Girls 15-18 Medley Relay

Suzanne Dolan, Kayle Park, Eleanor Ridgeway and Katherine Lundy of Overlee finished in 2:00.14, just under their own record of 2:00.21, set last week.

The very next event also featured the two fastest swims in league history, with Rutherford’s Gabriel Rupar, Tate Hoffman, Niko Sanchez and Aiken Do out-touching Fairfax’s Justin Connors, Christopher Dobrydney, Graham Evers and Justin Singletary, 53.26 to 53.71. The Fairfax boys had held the previous record of 53.83 for just one week.

Girls 13-14 Freestyle Relay

The Mosby Woods team of Eleanor Monnig, Alexandra Martschenko, Sara Tuo and Leaya Ma swam fast enough to set the new mark of 1:54.92, bettering Crosspointe’s 1:54.98, from 2015.

With the final opportunity to swim as a relay this season, two teams took advantage, setting league records under the hot July sun.

At Chesterbrook today, the home pool’s 9-10 Girls 100m Medley Relay team of Patricia Leonard, Eli Leonard, Keira Gutierrez and Madie Turley swam 1:07.34, besting the previous NVSL record of 1:07.70 set by Highlands Swim in 2015.

Meanwhile, the Fairfax 11-12 Boys 100m Medley Relay continued their record assault at Langley, touching in 59.90. Justin Singletary, Justin Connors, Christopher Dobrydney and Graham Evers broke their own record of 1:00.16 set on 7/9/2016. They finish the season owning both the A-Meet Medley and Carnival Medley meter records, and have set league records an amazing four times this season.
